The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 45 A Long-Distance Raid! Rejecting Bayern? I'm Going to Shock the Whole World! [Long Chapter of 10,000 Words, Please Subscribe]

Wang Shuo stood to the left of the center circle, behind Bayern Munich player Oddo.

Facing the ball that Feulner had poked at him, he used the inside of his left foot to guide it, turning his whole body around.

This is the boost that his regional-level "ball sense" brings him, making him clearly aware that this move can not only control the ball, but also allow him to turn around.

Most importantly, after turning around, push off with your right foot, and you can then dribble and charge forward with the ball.

By the time Odo turned around and tried to catch up, he was already behind.

After the intensive summer training, Wang Shuo had a thorough understanding of these passive skills.

Even in the 84th minute, even against Bayern Munich, with the national-level "breathing" boost, Wang Shuo still had enough energy to complete this sprint and attack.

But what's the next step?
At that moment, Wang Shuo was actually uncertain.

He almost instinctively took possession of the ball, turned around, and glanced ahead.

With the support of his professional-level "insight" and constant observation throughout the match, Wang Shuo has a clear understanding of Bayern's current situation and knows the players' positions like the back of his hand.

All of this information flooded his mind in an instant.

Van Buyten, Van Bommel, Demichelis, Lucio, and others—their current positions, characteristics, playing habits, and physical exertion...

Wang Shuo organized all of this in his mind, analyzing the complex information he had obtained through observation.

At the same time, Wang Shuo's professional-level "first-mover advantage" even allowed him to do more, directly deducing their next step.

Wang Shuo simply couldn't explain how he did it.

Just as scientists cannot explain exactly how fast the human brain works.

Everything flashed through his mind in an instant.

Then, he sketched out an outline very clearly.

A very strong and very real flash of inspiration crossed my mind.

He felt that with his current physical strength and speed, he could create an opportunity to reach the opponent's penalty area and even the goal by dribbling and breaking through opponents.

Moreover, this path is real and feasible; it was created after repeated analysis, calculation, and deduction.

This was the first time he had felt this way.

A strange, indescribable feeling arose within me.

It's like the glimmer of inspiration Newton captured from the law of universal gravitation when he was sitting under an apple tree and hit by an apple.

It's like Archimedes, sitting in the bathtub taking a bath, suddenly feeling the buoyancy of the water.

This wonderful yet real feeling made Wang Shuo feel completely relaxed.

In that instant, he pushed off with both legs, and like an arrow released from a bow, he sprinted forward with the ball.

Wang Shuo was completely immersed in the world he had deduced and created.

He kept turning his head back and forth, observing his surroundings, analyzing and deducing.

Odo was chasing desperately from behind.

Van Bommel was surprised and tried to run over to block him, but Wang Shuo had already anticipated this and suddenly accelerated, rushing straight past Van Bommel's defensive zone.

He continued to dribble forward.

At that moment, Van Buyten appeared at the front of Bayern's 30-meter zone, blocking Wang Shuo's path.

But this was already within Wang Shuo's expectations.

He knew the Belgian center-back's technical characteristics and habits, and he knew how to get past him.

And there's Demichelis, who's providing support on the sidelines.

Wang Shuo, sprinting at high speed, kept his body blocking Odo behind him, while also calculating how long it would take Van Bommel to get into position and complete his encirclement.

He still has time.

With the help of "Swiftness" and "Opportunity", Wang Shuo only made a very slight right shoulder drop, which made Van Buyten almost reflexively take a step out with his left foot.

But the next moment, Wang Shuo suddenly spiked the ball, adjusted his position, and tried to break through from Van Buyten's right side, which was the area between him and Demichelis.

Wang Shuo was too fast and his movements were too swift.

Even more outrageous is that they seized the initiative at every step, catching Bayern's defenders off guard.

Demichelis was startled and immediately rushed over to intercept him.

But after Wang Shuo spiked the ball, he smoothly slid his left foot to the inside of his foot, executing an incredibly skillful fritter-like move with almost effortless grace.

He dribbled the ball between Bayern's two center-backs and completed a breakthrough.

Just as he broke through, Van Bommel, who was lunging forward, almost collided with Demichelis.

But it was too late for them to stop Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo caught up with the ball on the left side of the arc and rushed into Bayern's penalty area.

Goalkeeper Rensing decisively abandoned his goal and rushed out to intercept the ball.

This successor to Kahn, hailed as the "Little Lion King," is at the prime of his career, and he wants to prove through his performance that he is Kahn's rightful heir.

No, he can do better than Kahn!

However, after Wang Shuo broke into the penalty area, he first deceived Rensing with a left-footed shot, causing the Bayern goalkeeper to shift his weight. Then, he flicked the ball to the side with his right foot and quickly shot.

Wang Shuo acted too quickly!
Even though Rensing reacted in time and dove to the side, the ball had already passed under him and into the Bayern goal behind him.

Renshin's diving save tripped Wang Shuo, who was about to take a shot, and sent him sprawling.

But it was at this moment that the entire Bruchweg Stadium erupted in gasps from the Mainz fans.

Everyone watched in disbelief as the transformation unfolded on the field.

In just a few seconds, Wang Shuo completed a solo goal, from stealing the ball to dribbling straight into the goalkeeper!

The shock silenced the entire Bruchweg stadium.

But the next moment, more than 2 Mainz fans rushed out of their seats in a frenzy.

"Wang Shuo!!"

"Wang Shuo!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

Goal!!!!

"In the 84th minute, my God, Wang Shuo, a 17-year-old Chinese player from Mainz, uh, no, he just turned 18, broke through Bayern's goal with a brilliant solo run!"

"It's really incredible!"

"Bayern had a total of five defenders, but they still couldn't stop Wang Shuo's goal!"

After Wang Shuo fell, he rolled around in Bayern's penalty area, but was not seriously injured. He immediately got up from the ground, excitedly rushed off the field, and kept shouting all the way.

When he rushed to the sidelines, he heard all the fans in the stadium chanting his name.

"Wang Shuo!"

Wang Shuo first raised his right fist high, then waved his hands continuously.

"Shout louder! Louder!"

The Mainz fans cheered even louder.

No one is born liking to be abused!
No one is born inferior!

No one wants to be humiliated like this by their opponent on their own doorstep!

Even a clay figure has a bit of fire in it!

Moreover, Mainz has never been a coward!

"what!!!"

Wang Shuo clenched his fists with all his might and roared at the fans in the stands through gritted teeth.

Then, he turned around, staring at his teammates who were rushing towards him, without saying a word.

But everyone was infected.

This is football!
Sometimes it's a vicious foul, sometimes it's a brilliant goal, and sometimes it might just be a single word or a glance.

They can all boost the morale of those around them!
"We're going to fight Bayern to the death!"

Wang Shuo is completely obsessed.

The Mainz players also got carried away.

Subotic, in particular, was completely overwhelmed by Luca Toni in this match.

He prides himself on being one of the best young center-backs in the Bundesliga, but he was utterly defeated when facing Luca Toni.

Just when he was feeling disheartened, Wang Shuo's goal brought him hope.

And there's Feulner.

He came from Bayern Munich's youth academy, and his biggest wish back then was to play for Bayern.

But he ultimately failed to stay at Bayern.

Like all players who leave the youth academy of top clubs, he hopes that one day he can make the club and everyone else recognize him again through his performance on the field.

Losing isn't scary!
What's terrifying is that you don't even dare to think about winning!

"Let's go all out against Bayern!"

"Fight!"

……

Klopp stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Both familiar and unfamiliar.

He never expected that Wang Shuo would bring him such a surprise and unexpected event at this time.

"This is what the teacher always talks about, that 5%, right?" Kramny was also moved.

It accounts for only 5%, but it is the most special and the most indispensable.

Klinsmann was equally shocked in front of the away team's coaching bench.

Wang Shuo's long-distance raid infuriated him.

Because this brilliant goal under dire circumstances will completely erase Bayern's victory!
After this match, everyone will only remember Wang Shuo's goal.

Even if Bayern wins by 3 goals or more, they will only become the background.

So he rushed to the sidelines, angrily wanting to yell at the players and vent his frustration.

But at that moment, he heard the roars of the Mainz players on the sidelines.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a terrible, even fearful, emotion.

Precisely because he had played football, and precisely because he was Jürgen Klinsmann, the "Golden Bomber," he understood better than anyone how much Wang Shuo's goal and his actions would affect the Mainz players.

Is this damn Chinese player really only 18 years old?
"Everyone, pull yourselves together and stay calm!" Klinsmann ultimately didn't yell at his players.

Because he knew what kind of situation his team would face next.

Calmness and reason told him that now was not the time to blame the players or cause internal strife.

We'll discuss everything after the match is over.

Meanwhile, in the presidential stands, Uli Hoeneß was utterly stunned.

During his playing career, he was also an attacker, specifically a 1.8-meter-tall right-wing attacker.

Therefore, he was well aware of how rare Wang Shuo's goal was!
Especially a comeback in such a desperate situation.

This is absolutely the enormous potential that bursts forth when someone is forced into a corner with no way out!

Scoring this goal will take Wang Shuo's entire career a step further than before.

It's not just the goal itself that has an impact, but also the boost it provides to his confidence and ability.

“Wolfgang, we underestimated this kid!” Hoeneß muttered to himself.

In several reports by Bayern Munich's chief scout, Wang Shuo has been highly praised.

Within Bayern Munich's sporting department, there are even suspicions that Dremler may have been paid off, otherwise how could he have praised a player under 18 years old to such an extent?
But now, Hoeneß feels that he still underestimated it!
Wang Shuo's growth rate and unfathomable potential have far exceeded Hoeneß and Dremler's expectations.

This goal has increased Wang Shuo's market value by at least 100 million euros.

No, it could even reach 200 million euros!
With that thought in mind, Hoeneß took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Strutz and Haider, and immediately made a decision.

"Sell him to Bayern Munich for 500 million euros, during the winter transfer window!"

Hoeneß's sudden offer left Strutz and Haider completely dumbfounded.

500 million euros?
Mainz's most expensive player right now is Subotic, who is only worth 400 million euros.

Wang Shuo surpassed it directly?
Both Strutz and Heidel were immediately intrigued by Hoeneß's offer.

To sell or not?
……

The game starts again.

No one expected that after Wang Shuo scored, Mainz's morale soared, and they turned the tables, pressing and attacking Bayern.

Just a moment ago, they were all Mainz players who had exhausted themselves, but now they're all like they've been injected with adrenaline.

When the live broadcast was transmitted back to China and appeared in the sports channel of Beijing TV, it immediately thrilled fans across the country.

Long-distance runs like that, where the dragon sprints through the mountains, have always been the privilege of players from other countries. When will we see Chinese players be able to put on such a spectacular show?

And it's in the Bundesliga!
They are facing a top powerhouse like Bayern Munich!

"My God, Wang Shuo's performance was absolutely phenomenal!"

"I can hardly believe it, is he really a Chinese player?"

"Look at Mainz, everyone is inspired, they're awesome!"

"It really gave me goosebumps."

I want to cry.

"He's really amazing, he's improving more and more."

"By the way, today is September 13th, Wang Shuo's birthday!"

"Really? Then this is truly the best birthday present."

Congratulations, Wang Shuo!

"Come on, beat Bayern!"

"I have no doubt that Wang Shuo can not only establish himself in the Bundesliga, but as long as he is free from injuries, his future development will exceed everyone's expectations."

"I support!"

"Upstairs!"

……

"Congratulations! Facing the strongest team in the top league, with no way out and no chance of winning, you still fought back and inflicted heavy damage on your opponent, achieving the accomplishment of 'A cornered beast fights back'."

"A passive skill card has been awarded. Would you like to claim it now?"

The moment the final whistle blew, two messages immediately popped into Wang Shuo's mind.

In addition to the rewards for the achievement "Desperate Struggle", there is also a settlement after each match.

This time it's 8 passive points.

He currently has a total of 13 passive points accumulated.

Wang Shuo himself never expected that after a hard-fought battle against Bayern Munich, he would receive such a reward.

I used a passive skill card and drew [Aura]. I was rewarded with another one after the match.

He is now increasingly able to appreciate the exhilarating feeling of "using war to sustain war".

If he maintains his current momentum and is given a few more years, he believes he will definitely have the opportunity to leave his mark on Adidas's Hollywood Walk of Fame!
Wang Shuo didn't enter the God of Football system; instead, he glanced at the information, got the gist of it, and moved on.

The match ended in a 1-3 defeat at home to Bayern Munich!
They really did lose badly in terms of the score.

Especially the period in the second half when they conceded three goals in quick succession reminded many of the final round two years ago that led to Mainz's relegation.

Mainz also suffered a crushing defeat at that time!
But things are different today.

Wang Shuo's goal in the final moments of the match was like a lifeline, giving everyone in Mainz a sense of hope.

Klopp continued his goal-scoring record against Bayern Munich.

In 8 matches, he failed to score against Bayern Munich in only 1 game.

This rugged, artsy coach was particularly stubborn in this regard.

Klopp was different from usual after the match.

He walked straight into the stadium, calling out to veterans like Nowitzki and Wach, and waving at Wang Shuo.

After quickly gathering all the players around him, Klopp first gave them a positive assessment, expressing his satisfaction with the result of the match.

“两年前的两轮联赛，我们主场是0比4，客场是2比5，今天我们是1比3。”

"This means we are making progress!"

"I believe we can perform even better in the next game at the Allianz Arena!"

After saying that, Klopp led everyone towards the stands.

The more than 2 Mainz fans who came to the scene were very excited.

When Klopp led the team to the stands, they all stood up and chanted Mainz, Klopp, and the players' names.

To Wang Shuo's surprise, the sound of people calling his name was exceptionally loud today.

He's even on par with head coach Klopp.

This flattered him a little.

"Congratulations, Wang! This proves that our fans like you more and more," Feulner, standing beside him, laughed heartily.

Wang Shuo was also pleased.

Almost all the players who play for Mainz, especially Wang Shuo, Subotic, and even Feulner, do not feel that they will play for this team for the rest of their lives.

The main reason is that Mainz is a very small team.

Just like Subotic.

Despite being only 19 years old, he has already made a name for himself and is hailed as one of the best new generation center-backs in the Bundesliga.

If Mainz fails to be promoted from the 2. Bundesliga this season, he will definitely leave.

He wanted to leave, and Mainz also wanted to sell him.

This is how small teams survive!
From club management to coaches to fans, everyone understands this set of operating rules.

But that didn't stop everyone from cheering for Wang Shuo's goal at that moment.

This doesn't stop Wang Shuo from being happy that he's been liked by Mainz fans.

……

What's really strange is that even though they lost the game, Mainz seemed to be in high spirits.

Because they were pressing Bayern in the final minutes.

On the contrary, Bayern's players, who won 3-1, looked like wilted eggplants.

The Mainz players were still having a heated discussion when they returned to the locker room.

The topics are the real-time standings and the top scorers list.

After losing to Bayern Munich, Mainz will definitely relinquish their top spot in the league, which was expected by everyone.

Hamburg came from behind to beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 and topped the league table.

Hoffenheim and Stuttgart played to a 0-0 draw at Hoffenheim's home ground.

Borussia Mönchengladbach suffered a humiliating 1-5 defeat away to Hannover 96.

The problems can be seen from the situation of the three newly promoted teams.

Borussia Mönchengladbach were absolutely unstoppable in the 2. Bundesliga last season.

However, if you carefully compare Borussia Mönchengladbach's performance with the other four teams in the top five of the Bundesliga, it is easy to see that Mönchengladbach is at a significant disadvantage.

In other words, if the top 5 teams in the 2. Bundesliga formed a mini-round, Borussia Mönchengladbach would almost be at the bottom.

Some people might find this strange.

That doesn't make sense. If they were this bad in matches against strong teams, how did Borussia Mönchengladbach manage to get promoted by a huge margin?
Stomp on noobs!
Their ability to dominate weaker opponents is truly unwavering!
But after being promoted to the Bundesliga this season, even though Borussia Mönchengladbach invested more than 10 million euros in the summer, they have no weak teams to beat and are now in the relegation zone.

They conceded 11 goals in 4 rounds, making them the team with the most goals conceded in the first 4 rounds of the Bundesliga.

Borussia Mönchengladbach has a record of 1 win and 3 losses, earning 3 points.

霍芬海姆是2胜1平1负，拿到了7分排在了第7位。

Mainz has 3 wins and 1 loss, earning 9 points. They have relinquished their top spot but are still ranked 2nd.

The new top spot belongs to Peking University King Burger.

Hamburgers are indeed quite popular now.

Under the coaching of Dutch coach Martin Jol, the team lost Van der Vaart, De Jong and Kompany this summer, generating more than 3 million euros in revenue.

But who would have thought that this team is currently ranked at the top of the standings?

How can Bayern Munich, ranked 3rd, possibly accept this?

In the top scorers list, the current top scorers are Ibisevic from Hoffenheim with 4 goals each, and Wang Shuo from Mainz.

Ibisevic failed to score in this round.

Wang Shuo has scored in four consecutive matches.

Both players have 2 assists.

But Ibisevic had one penalty, while Wang Shuo did not.

Therefore, after the fourth round of matches, Wang Shuo overtook Ibisevic and topped the Bundesliga top scorer list.

Although everyone knows it's only temporary, it's still really not easy.

He just turned 18 and topped the Bundesliga scoring charts. Can you believe it?
Looking down the top scorers list, there are also world-class center forward Luca Toni with 3 goals, and German international Helmes, who joined Bayer Leverkusen from Cologne this season.

Mario Gomez?

Sorry, only two have entered.

Wolfsburg's Grafite only scored 2 goals.

Dzeko only scored one goal.

The Mainz players were also very happy and came over one by one to congratulate Wang Shuo.

Such an honor is truly rare for Mainz.

Of course, not everyone was genuinely happy.

For example, he felt very frustrated with the new signing, Ban Sai.

He was suspended for the first two rounds due to the red card and originally wanted to put in more effort.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shuo, having secured his starting position, simply refused to move.

The key point is that its performance is getting better and better.

Sitting on the sidelines like this, when will it ever end?
The teammates congratulated him one after another, and some even joined in the cheering, thinking that they should celebrate.

Amri was the most excited among them.

This guy might not play football with enough intensity, but he certainly doesn't skimp on eating, drinking, and having fun.

Wang Shuo sat in his seat, first looking at Subotic, then at assistant coach Kramny who was smiling silently in the distance.

The latter's eyes held a hint of encouragement.

Wang Shuo thought for a moment and decided to say something before Klopp came in. So he stood up.

The entire locker room immediately fell silent.

Everyone was somewhat surprised, but most of them looked at Wang Shuo with smiles.

Most of the people in this locker room had fought their way up from the German second division with Wang Shuo.

Although there are new signings, as long as there are no positional conflicts, they are generally happy to see Wang Shuo succeed.

"I'm actually not very good at talking."

Wang Shuo's first words made everyone burst into laughter.

"It's okay, you're the best today, so feel free to say whatever you want," Amri cheered loudly.

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

"I think the goal wasn't just my achievement; it was the result of everyone's hard work and the credit of everyone on the field."

This statement is quite pleasing to teammates.

Although Kramny remained silent in the distance, he nodded almost imperceptibly.

"I don't know how to say more, but in short, thank you all very much!"

"Let me treat everyone to a meal."

“That’s a good idea, I have to go,” Subotic was the first to speak.

“I’ll definitely be there,” Foyle added.
"And I."

"Where would you like to go? I'm bringing my girlfriend."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

This is the first time Wang Shuo has treated everyone to a meal, so they will definitely all go.

Everyone knows this in their hearts.

Given Wang Shuo's current performance, a player like him won't stay at Mainz for long.

If it had been earlier, it might have been bought during the winter break.

We may never have the chance to sit down and have a meal together again.

Therefore, they all cherished this opportunity.

We'll take a few more photos to remember the occasion, so that if Wang Shuo becomes famous in the future, they'll have more material to boast about.

Despite the loss, Klopp was still in a good mood.

He didn't blame the players for conceding three goals, which made everyone quite grateful to Wang Shuo.

Without Wang Shuo's goal, they would probably be in serious trouble.

However, Klopp did not specifically praise Wang Shuo in the locker room.

The team lost the game after all.

At the subsequent press conference, Klopp praised Wang Shuo's goal in front of everyone, and also commended him for temporarily topping the scoring charts.

"Given his current performance, I wouldn't be surprised if he maintains this position at the end of the season!"

This is his highest praise for Wang Shuo.

At 18, he already wants to be the Bundesliga's top scorer?
Everyone thought that Klopp was praising his protégé.

However, to Klopp's surprise, Wang Shuo was waiting for him in his office after the press conference.

"Is something wrong?"

"Boss, could you lend me some money first?" Wang Shuo asked somewhat awkwardly.

But Klopp himself said that people should come to him if they have any difficulties.

Who is Klopp?

He immediately understood the reason.

Wang Shuo just said he was going to treat everyone to dinner, and Klopp agreed to go.

It's obvious that Wang Shuo doesn't have money when he asks to borrow it now.

Why don't I have money?
Because the club owes them money.

Sometimes, even Klopp thinks it's pretty ridiculous.

Wage arrears in other industries can cause serious trouble.

However, wage arrears are a widespread phenomenon in the professional football industry.

Don't even mention Germany, go look at the English Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A, there are tons of companies owing wages.

La Liga has a strike almost every season due to unpaid wages.

"Don't ask me to lend you any."

Klopp was both embarrassed and frustrated, and he slapped his bearded face hard, making a loud slapping sound.

"My pockets are cleaner than my face right now."

He was also owed money.

"I'll go see Christian later, and even if I have him cover it, I'll still pay you some."

"Thank you, boss." Wang Shuo nodded.

He had inquired about the unpaid wages with Subotic.

There are no outstanding debts, so there's nothing to worry about.

Given Mainz's current situation, they are simply waiting for funding from the German Football League.

Once the payment arrives, the back wages can be settled.

"By the way, the chairman just told me something about you."

Wang Shuo paused for a moment, then looked at the head coach with a question in his eyes.

"Hoeneß offered 500 million euros to buy you at Bayern Munich during the winter break."

“500 million euros?” Wang Shuo was startled by the number.

Converted to RMB, that's 5000 million!
My God, that's 5000 million!

But the next moment, Wang Shuo panicked and looked at Klopp, "The club... agreed?"

Given Wang Shuo's current situation, if Mainz agrees, he really can't refuse.

Klopp chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Christian refused."

Wang Shuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If he goes to Bayern Munich, where will he get any more games to play?
Luis Podolski, the German prince, and a rising star in the national team, both received personal support from Joachim Löw.

But at Bayern Munich, he still ended up on the bench.

“Although you are still young, Wang, I believe you should know that the club’s rejection of Bayern was definitely not due to feelings or other factors, but for only one reason.”

“I know.” Wang Shuo nodded emphatically.

"Boss, don't worry, I'll work harder than ever!"

Klopp sighed inwardly, thinking that Wang Shuo was quite precocious and intelligent.

But professional football has always been brutal.

In this world, acting on impulse is tantamount to courting death.

What everyone values ​​is the calculation of interests hidden beneath the veneer of warmth and affection.

Mainz never considered Wang Shuo to be something that was not for sale.

Not selling to Bayern Munich isn't due to any personal grudges or conflicts.

There's only one reason: Bayern Munich's offer wasn't high enough!

Mainz believes that Wang Shuo's value can continue to rise.

Wang Shuo didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Mutual benefit and mutual gain.

Before he went abroad, Coach Gao had already analyzed these things for him.

Now that he's here, he has to accept the rules of the game in European football.

Moreover, Wang Shuo also felt that he could continue to improve.

Going to Bayern now is too early!
When he becomes powerful enough and has his own voice in the future, he can change or make his own rules.

But certainly not now.

……

Klinsmann's hunch was right.

Although Mainz lost 1-3 to Bayern at home, they received almost universal praise in the post-match media.

It is precisely because the German media and fans had such low expectations for Mainz that the team was able to compete evenly with Bayern for most of the game.

This brought great surprise to the media and fans.

Especially Wang Shuo.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung featured the match prominently in its sports section the following day, using a photo of Wang Shuo.

The title is: Mainz suffers home defeat but gains a stunning young talent.

In this report, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung highlighted Wang Shuo's long-distance raid.

"This is the best demonstration of the ability and talent of the 18-year-old Chinese player!"

"In this attack, Wang Shuo not only demonstrated amazing speed, but also excellent ball control and dribbling skills."

“Faced with Bayern’s defense consisting of Van Buyten, Van Bommel, Oddo, Demichelis and Lucio, Wang Shuo dared to charge into Bayern’s heartland all by himself.”

“Wang Shuo used the simplest and most direct method, even just a flick and a dribble, to get past Bayern’s established defenders.”

After the match, Klinsmann defended his players, arguing that they had become somewhat careless after taking a 3-goal lead, which gave Wang Shuo an opportunity to score.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung does not disagree with this assessment.

"But with Bayern leading by 3 goals, Wang Shuo's ability to score such a brilliant goal for Mainz undoubtedly highlights his potential and value!"

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung believes that, based on Wang Shuo's past performances, he is not just a player with speed.

"He is an intelligent player with good technique and teamwork awareness."

"More importantly, he is very hardworking."

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung provided some data.

In the current Bundesliga, Wang Shuo ranks first among all center forwards who have scored goals.

However, there is another statistic: even if all other center forwards from the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga are included in the comparison, Wang Shuo still ranks first.

That's the running distance.

"The average distance reached an astonishing 11 kilometers!"

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported a very alarming figure.

What concept is this?
If you look at all the center forwards in the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, there are basically very few who are over 10 kilometers per hour.

If it can even reach 9 kilometers, that would be considered quite good.

Who made the Bundesliga so popular with big center forwards in recent years?

Try making tall centers like Dzeko and Luca Toni, who are around 1.9 meters tall, run 9 kilometers every game.

Does he still have the energy to score a goal?
Even if we don't mention center forwards, but include all wingers, wide midfielders, midfielders, defensive midfielders, and full-backs, there are very few players who can average 11 kilometers per game in the first four rounds of this season.

In other words, Wang Shuo, a striker, covered a distance that was no less than that of the most physically active Bundesliga midfielders and full-backs.

In the field of forwards, he is far ahead of the competition.

This is quite an oddity!

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung believes that what Klopp valued most about Wang Shuo last season was precisely his hard work and diligence.

But now, this 18-year-old Chinese player is constantly showing his extraordinary talent.

……

Bild also reported on and commented on the match afterward.

They also scored the participating players.

Wang Shuo scored the highest point of the game with 1 point.

Moreover, he was the only player in the entire game to score 1 point.

Despite scoring twice and silencing all doubters, Luca Toni, the Bundesliga's top aerial threat, only managed to earn 2 points.

Because it was a crushing 1-3 defeat, and the other Mainz players were mostly rated 3 or 4 points.

Wang Shuo represents a gap in the existing talent pool.

Subotic was dominated by Luca Toni in this game, scoring his worst 5 points ever.

Bild expressed sympathy for Subotic's situation.

A 19-year-old young center-back facing the formidable Luca Toni is truly a nightmare.

Why was Wang Shuo given the highest score of 1 in the entire game?
According to Bild, 18-year-old Wang Shuo has been Mainz's best player this season.

This was especially true in this match.

With his extensive running, whether in attack or defense, Wang Shuo's involvement in the game is indispensable for Mainz.

But the most amazing thing was that long run when they were down by 3 goals.

"This was an excellent demonstration of Wang Shuo's personal abilities and talent!"

"With this goal, Wang Shuo shone throughout the match, even overshadowing many of Bayern's superstars."

Bild reports that it has been a long time since such an exciting young player has appeared in the Bundesliga.

Ribery?
Yes, Bayern Munich's star player is making a comeback.

But Ribery was already a well-known star before he came to the Bundesliga.

More importantly, Ribery's looks are on a completely different level from Wang Shuo's.

"While many Bundesliga fans are lamenting Rafael van der Vaart's departure to Real Madrid in La Liga, Wang Shuo of Mainz is rapidly rising to prominence!"

Kicker magazine did a great job playing the role of an authoritative football media outlet this time.

They produced a report introducing Klopp's brand new Mainz team.

The headline reads: "Chinese geniuses have given Mainz a stunning makeover!"

Kicker magazine analyzed Klopp's Mainz team from a tactical perspective, believing that many things are still based on the same principles that Klopp has adhered to in the past.

But many changes have also been made.

For example, Wang Shuo, who is only 1.8 meters tall, has a slightly thin build, and lacks strength in physical confrontation, is clearly not the type of tall center forward that Klopp likes the most.

On the contrary, Banca is more to Klopp's liking.

But Wang Shuo took the chairmanship, leaving Ban Sai sitting on the sidelines.

why?
“Wang Shuo is completely different from other players. He can not only score goals, but he can also help other players on the team perform better.”

Extensive running in the attacking third can greatly relieve pressure on the midfield.

This benefited a group of veterans, led by Calhanoglu and Pekovic.

The arrival of Hajnal has led Mainz to adopt more ground passing in their attack, rather than relying on high balls as in the past.

To better utilize Wang Shuo's strengths, Klopp's overall formation and attacking pressure are not as high as Mainz used to be.

“In Klopp’s system, 18-year-old Wang Shuo has been given a lot of room to develop.”

"Wang Shuo's presence has brought a kind of wonderful balance to Klopp's tactics."

"Wang Shuo does all kinds of work, whether it's dirty or hard."

"In Mainz, once the ball gets to the attacking third, Wang Shuo is the director."

"When does he run, in which direction, and whether he makes a long pass or a short pass..."

"Wang Shuo is like a beacon for Mainz's attack, and he also gives all the opponents a headache."

Kicker magazine revealed that they interviewed Bayern Munich center-back Demichelis after the match.

This Argentine, known for his high football intelligence, believes that "conceding a goal is a punishment for us!"

“We made a very stupid mistake, which was to underestimate Wang Shuo.”

"He is a very special player. He always seems to be able to read our intentions and always makes the right choices."

"But this is clearly impossible."

Demichelis appeared very confused and distressed.

……

Since his first appearance in the newspaper, Wang Shuo has developed a habit of reading it.

He always felt incredibly pleased whenever he saw reports praising him in major newspapers, secretly rejoicing to himself.

On the night the match ended, Wang Shuo treated everyone on the first team to a meal.

It cost a lot of money.

But worth it.

Both Kramny and Thomas Essien supported Wang Shuo's decision.

For a striker to perform well, he absolutely needs the strong support of his teammates.

In the locker room, building good relationships is also an important skill.

"I've never seen anyone who can't get along with their teammates and still do well on the field," Thomas Essien said earnestly.

Wang Shuo came from a rural background and had a very low starting point, so he was never high-profile and had no arrogant or complacent mentality.

Even now, he still feels that he is far inferior to others.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United was already a regular starter at Manchester United when he was 18 years old.

And then there's Messi, who was already a World Youth Championship winner and best player at the age of 18, and performed exceptionally well at Barcelona, ​​causing his release clause to rise to 1.5 million euros.

And then there's Wayne Rooney of England, who was only 16 when he scored the goal that ended Arsenal's unbeaten run.

Compared to these people, Wang Shuo felt that he was still far inferior.

We need to work even harder.

After reading the German media reports, Wang Shuo secretly returned to China and surfed the internet.

Major portal websites and news outlets were also flooded with it.

Although Wang Shuo remained rational, he secretly enjoyed watching it.

However, on the sports forum, among the many posts discussing and praising the topic, Wang Shuo saw a question post.

Some fans are asking on the forum whether the second round of the German Cup will be broadcast live.

This match is being held at the Bruchweg Stadium in Mainz, and the opponent is FC Köln, a team from the 2. Bundesliga.

Cologne's strength has been significantly affected this season.

With head coach Daum going to coach Borussia Dortmund and striker Helmes going to Bayer Leverkusen, the team's strength has been significantly weakened.

The forum administrator revealed that there will be no live broadcast of the match in Germany. It is very likely that fans studying in Europe will be invited to the venue to take photos and provide live text and image updates.

But the problem now is that tickets are unavailable.

Unfortunately, with Mainz's promotion to the Bundesliga and the team's outstanding performance, tickets have become increasingly sought after.

With relatively low ticket prices for the German Cup and the opponent being Cologne, tickets are indeed quite hard to come by.

But this is not difficult for Wang Shuo.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shuo immediately called Jiang Pengju.

“If their people want to come to the game, I’ll give them tickets, but you have to tell them beforehand that I’m not sure I’ll be playing in this match.”

The match is midweek, between two league games, and also a cup match, so Klopp will definitely give Bansey some playing time.

Wang Shuo and other key players are definitely resting.

Of course, since it's a home game and the fans have bought tickets to get in, Klopp will try his best to win.

Therefore, it's hard to say whether Wang Shuo will make an appearance.

Jiang Pengju knew, of course, that Wang Shuo was actually asking him to do a favor.

Several major domestic forums are backed by wealthy investors and wield considerable influence.

Jiang Pengju wants to organize campus football matches, which requires publicity and promotion. Connecting with these people will always be beneficial.

More importantly, by doing this, Wang Shuo was essentially telling everyone that Jiang Pengju could directly connect with him.

"Okay, I'll talk to them and post on the forum so that fans can decide for themselves whether or not to wait."

Jiang Pengju replied in less than half an hour.

Upon hearing that the tickets were from Wang Shuo, the other party immediately agreed to arrange for someone to come and watch the live stream.

"They told me that many fans in China have been asking if it's possible to organize a trip to Germany to watch the game live?"

"Just to watch the game?"

Wang Shuo was somewhat surprised.

Traveling from China to Germany for a few days must cost a considerable amount of money.

"I mainly want to see you," Jiang Pengju laughed on the other end of the phone.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shuo nodded and said, "I need to discuss it with my agent. At most, I can provide some tickets and information, but I definitely can't handle the specific arrangements."

“That’s natural.” Jiang Pengju nodded.

"It's okay. Just ask your agent when you have time. Your football career is the priority. Nothing else matters."

Wang Shuo then asked some questions about things in China.

The main question is when his teammates from Huai Ren Football School will come to Europe for trials?

Nowadays, Wang Shuo has a certain understanding of German football.

He has been able to get to where he is today thanks to the God of Football System.

Your teammates don't have a system.

In his judgment, his teammates, after arriving in Germany, would at most start from the U19 level, and their development would certainly not be as fast as his.

Zhao Yifan, who has the best talent and ability, has always been second only to himself at Huai Ren Football School, but he plays as a midfielder.

This position might be highly competitive in other teams, but not in Mainz.

Moreover, Tuchel is the head coach of Mainz U19, and Wang Shuo is very familiar with him.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuo thought he should find an opportunity to chat with Kramny, sound him out, and then talk to Tuchel to ask Thomas Essien to make arrangements.

It would be best if Adidas sponsored it.

no way.

Who made Huai Ren Football School poor?
Gao, in a self-deprecating joke, said: "If I could sell my butt to pay off my debts, I would have done so long ago!"
So, every little bit saved counts.

When Wang Shuo thinks of his teammates back home, he thinks of his family.

No, I'd better go practice!

As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death!
Let's crush these soccer players!
